At least Cio has sensible motivations

Can Cio reclaim her eye/arm if she upgrades her mask again?

Yeah, all the other Demiurges are also being pulled out of the water by their besties.

Maya totally blocked any of the 80,000 strikes sent her way.

Cio looks like she's freaking the gently caress out but she always does whenever she's in actual danger because she's got the temperment of an especially-nervous cat so I think all told she's holding it together quite well by staying on-task and not being dead.

I'll enjoy seeing the 3 sets of matching prostheses & eye patches together.

The best swordsperson in the universe swore off the blade completely. Maya is a close second and only uses the hilt.

Following that logic it stands to reason that to become the best unarmed combatant you have to swear off arms.

Something to note is that even though Jagganoth used swords, they were 80,000 blows.

Because each Cut is a singular thing of absolute beauty to make foes weep, and Jagganoth is evidently not capable of such an act.

White Chain very irritated because she just got done with this rock body bullshit.

It would suck for her if something happened to the body she just got, it would be like getting into a fender-bender the moment you drove your new car out of the dealership.

Semi-related: I think Solomon's technique becoming stronger when he adds more points was a missed opportunity. His 100-point whatever should be his bread-and-butter move; as he gets more serious his attacks should have less and less points. Build up anticipation to the one- (or zero-) point strike.

I dont thin jaggs cares about the distinction. Just how to most effectively inflict violence.

Were he disarmed hed have ripped apart the demiurges with his own hands.

I thought Ki Rata was the art of focusing all of your power into a single point in your body, and the additional fingers represent the wielder unleashing or having so much power that it’s physically impossible for them to keep it all in just one finger even after all of the extreme power compression techniques that they’re trained to do?

quote:

“KI RATA

An internal/external discipline, widely respected as the most dangerous Fist Art in the multiverse. It’s core technique is a breathing method that allows internal force to be cultivated extremely rapidly and focused on a point smaller than a pin-prick, giving blows absolutely phenomenal power. Blows using this technique are named by the number of points they contain – one point blows are strong enough to crack stone with a touch. Two point blows can decapitate a man with the air pressure created by flicking a finger. Legends about of old masters of Ki Rata using ten point blows to level cities but I find the claim highly dubious.

I have found nobody willing to train me in this art and none who will grant me observation. Improper use of a Ki Rata technique will literally tear a man’s own body into pieces, so I have not attempted to study it myself. The only living masters live in the (remarkably pretty) land of Rayuba and are staunch pacifists, having, according to legend, culled their order to a single community. Reportedly the only time they ever use their considerable talents is to kill someone who somehow manages to learn a Ki Rata technique without being trained by them first. They only take apprentices to replace an old master when he dies, so that someone will always be around to make sure Ki Rata does not exist in the wider world. Many supplicants flock to Rayuba in the hopes of being trained by the masters, who sometimes are forced into self defense when they are challenged to unwanted duels.

When I arrived there hoping for some insight, I witnessed such a duel between a low-ranking monk of the style and a well-known master of Pilgrim fist. Within three moves, the monk, a rather short fellow, use a two finger one-point technique to completely vaporize the bones in both the master’s arms.

I am strongly dissuaded to continue pressing my study of this art and will write no further on it.”
